RE: which one to buy? Struts books? Any ideas?

[micael]

Struts in Action is published and it rocks. I would like a book that does everything, including exposing all the xml "magic", etc. But, Struts in Action is cool. Probably depends a lot on what you want out of a book. I want everything. Many people just want a manual to develop. I cannot develop without knowing what is going on under the hood. Doesn't feel right. Many don't care, however. I would page through them and decide on your own according to your own specification. I solve this problem by buying them all.

The Goodwill book clearly got rushed to market without adequate editorial
care. It claims to use 1.1 in the examples, but there are so many serious
inconsistencies between the text and examples that 1.1 must have been
last-minute addition.

As far as I can tell, though, this book does not cover Struts 1.1 at all,
so if you're looking for information on "the latest Struts goodies", this
wouldn't be the right book. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)
